Cardinal Gibbons in Rome.

ROME, February 2O.-Cardinal Gibbons
has been busy since his arrival here. No
definite information of the business OF the
propaganda is known, but it is certain
that great questions touching Catholic in
terests in America will be considered care
fully. Cardinal Gibbons is expected to ex-
press an opinion on allquestions submitted
for his views. because Of his great acquain-
tance with the present American questions
and his strong love for American institu-
tions. It is difficult to believe that the
conclusion reached will be of an unfavora-
BILE character. Time is still required for

TERRITORIAL TIDINGS.

A petition against the Penitentiary Bill
has received several hundred signers in
Billings.
1t is said that the proposed route OF the
Clark's Fork Railroad is Tree from obstruc-
ton by snow.
The rear addition OF the Yellowstone
Hotel, at Glendive, was burned last
Thursday.
There is no sugar at Cooke City, and they
can not get any until some OF the snow
goes off.
The hog packing OF the eutire West up to
date is estimated to be four per cent less
than last winter.
The Billings Gazette says: No stockman
has talked openly in Billings OF 30 to 80
Der cent losses, because he would be
laughed at. 1t is we'll enough to write such
reports to Eastern papers, where they can
not be denied, and where they may have
the effect of deterring intending settlers
from coming to this country. A few mar
row minded men have that object in view,
but the majority would not stoop to such
questionable practices as endeavurlng to
retard settlement by misrepresentation:
Ask such old reliable stockmen as Alfred
Myers and Ryan Bros, and they Will tell
YOU that the losses do not exceed ~ per
cent at the outside. The losses OF this
winter have been greatly exceeded in Ne
braska, Kansas and Colorado time and
again, and Montana leads all the range

DIR. M'GLYNN.

Belief That He Will Be Reinstated in
st. Stephens.
New YORK, February 20.-The belief that
Or. MtGlynn will be reinstated in St.
Stephens Church was the topic Of CONVEX
sation among the Pensioners OF that
Church to-day. It il said that McGlynn
has received letters, not only from many
priests Of the Roman Catholic Church in
this country and in Europe, but has also
letters from several Cardinals and Bishops
commanding his course and approving his
strength OF purpose in holding to his opin-
ions on the property in land which are,
they say, consistent with the doctrines o.
the Church. The theory now entertained
by DR.. Glynn's friends is that
he will be reinstated as pastor OF St.
Stevens, that he will return to his home
in the rectory and that he will then 60 to
Rome. He will never 60 to Rome, it is said,
unless he goes as pastor OF st. Stephens.
The reinstatement Of the Doctor, it is be-
lieved, will take place before April 10. which
is Easter Sunday. DR.. McGlynn's health
is slowly improving, and he now goes out
daily.
Masses were not largely attended to-day
and the collections we're small.

A Case OF Brutality.

Last Saturday evening there was dance
at Silver Bow. and the entire population
took part, and also had some assistance
from the outside. Among. the outsiders
present vas Jim Murrin, section foreman
at Buxton, a side track on the Utah q
Northern little ways below Silver Bow.
He partook quite freely OF red liquor at the
dance and afterwards, and when he went
home he felt too high to take any caudle
lecture from his wife. and when she scolded
him he slapped her and turned her out OF
the house. Mrs. Murrin came to Butte
Sunday night and the next morning made
complaint to Sheriff Lloyd, who ordered
the arrest OF Jim. A deputy went down
and brought him up. and he was arraigned
in Justice Lippincott's court yesterday
afternoon charged with assault and
battery.
Murrin admitted that he was drunk, and
that he had struck her and treated her as
above described, but stated, in palliation
of his acts, that she was not hi' wife. Jus.
tice Lippincott fined him ten dollars and
costs which he paid, and left for Buxton.
Mrs. Murrin says she will not 60 back to
him, and is still in Butte.

The Indian Commission Concludes .
Treaty With the Piegans at the
Blackfoot Agency.
HELENA, February 19.-News has been
received here OF tie signing OF the treaty
with the Piegan Indians at the Blackfoot
Agency, on February 10th, as follows: The
Indian Commission arrived at this agency
on the 7th in good condition, notwith-
standing the long trip and the extreme
weather. On the 9th the Piegan Indians
assembled in council at the agency. Hon.
John " Wright, Chairman OF the Commits.
sion, in plain and we'll chosen words, pre-
eented to the Indians the object of their
visit-the proposition for a reduction of
the reservation. His statement and re.
marks thereon were attentively listened to.
and produced a marked effect upon his
hearers. His presentation OF the subject
was such as to commend itself to the red
men, and make the judge a favorite with
them all. Major Larabie, the Secretacy OF
the Commission, read the proposed agree.
ment, and commented upon its stipula.
tions. He was followed by DR.. Daniels in
few remarks White Cali, the head chief OF
the Piegans, replied in their behalf, and he
well sustained his reputation as an e]o.
Guent and astute chieftain. He said the
Indians well knew that they would not use
the great body OF their reservation. and
that they were willing to dispose of the
rest upon fair terms. The land proposed
to be set apart as their future
reservation was satisfactory to
item, but the compensation for
the land to be ceded to the Government
was the rock upon which they nearly split,
the Pegans making so large demand as to
discourage the commissioners. The Coun.
Gil broke up without further action, and
iof while it looked as though the treaty
wou'd iah through, but better counsel
nnaily prevailed and on the following day
